Feasibility of a remotely supervised home-based group eHealth Fitness and Mobility Exercise program for stroke: French-Canadian version preliminary study
CONCLUSION: FAME@home was feasible to deliver as a remotely supervised group exercise program to community-dwelling stroke survivors, with high levels of retention and adherence. FAME@home improved accessibility to exercise and facilitated engagement by having a class schedule and social interaction.PMID:34994303 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.2012008

Prevalence of Poststroke Neurocognitive Disorders Using National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke-Canadian Stroke Network, VASCOG Criteria (Vascular Behavioral and Cognitive Disorders), and Optimized Criteria of Cognitive Deficit Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—This study is the first to have optimized the operationalization of the criterion for poststroke cognitive impairment. It documented the prevalence of poststroke NCD in the GRECOG-VASC cohort and showed that mild cognitive impairment accounts for 80% of the affected patients. Finally, the method developed in the present study offers a means of harmonizing the diagnosis of NCD.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01339195.

Multicenter, retrospective analysis of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke in nonagenarians
Background: With the increasing age of acute stroke patients being admitted to hospitals, more data are needed on indications, complications and outcome of endovascular treatment (EVT) in the very elderly. Methods: Retrospective observational study with data collection from Belgian, Swiss, Canadian comprehensive stroke centers and Swedish EVT National database. All patients with acute ischemic stroke were eligible if aged older than or ≥90 years and treated with EVT ± pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Attitudes of Canadian stroke physicians regarding palliative care for patients with acute severe stroke: A national survey
Palliative care (PC) aims to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families when confronted with serious illness.   As stroke continues to inflict high morbidity and mortality, the integration of palliative care within acute stroke care remains an important aspect of quality inpatient care.

Sex Differences in Outcomes after Stroke in Patients with Diabetes in Ontario, Canada
Outcomes after stroke in those with diabetes are not well characterized, especially by sex and age. We sought to calculate the sex- and age-specific risk of cardiovascular outcomes after ischemic stroke among those with diabetes.

Long-term morbidity and mortality in patients without early complications after stroke or transient ischemic attack.
Authors: Edwards JD, Kapral MK, Fang J, Swartz RH Abstract BACKGROUND: Secondary prevention after stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) has focused on high early risk of recurrence, but survivors of stroke can have substantial long-term morbidity and mortality. We quantified long-term morbidity and mortality for patients who had no early complications after stroke or TIA and community-based controls. METHODS: This longitudinal case-control study included all ambulatory or hospitalized patients with stroke or TIA (discharged from regional stroke centres in Ontario from 2003 to 2013) who survived for 90 days...

Device used to close small hole in heart may protect against recurrent stroke
A device used to close a small hole in the heart may benefit certain stroke patients by providing an extra layer of protection for those facing years of ongoing stroke risk, according to the results of a large clinical trial led by UCLA researchers.“It is a major new treatment option for some people,” said Dr. Jeffrey Saver, director of theUCLA Comprehensive Stroke Center and lead author of the study. However, he added, “Using the device is going to have to be a considered clinical decision between the doctor and the patient about who’s the right person to get it.”Thefindings appear in the Sept. 14 New England Jo...

Telehealth for remote stroke management
This article reviews the rationale for telestroke networks and their current implementation in Canada. Telestroke networks enable stroke-specific procedures to be performed by less experiences physicians under the guidance of stroke neurology experts. The article also presents evidence that the safety and effectiveness of intravenous alteplase in community hospitals in a telestroke network seems to be comparable to that achieved in dedicated stroke centres. It is thus a viable option to guarantee an aging population access to stroke care across large geographic regions with faster treatment and access to more advanced trea...

Stroke in HIV
Publication date: Available online 6 December 2018Source: Canadian Journal of CardiologyAuthor(s): Milana Bogorodskaya, Felicia C. Chow, Virginia A. TriantAbstractStroke is a heterogeneous disease in persons living with HIV (PLWH). HIV is thought to increase the risk of stroke through both HIV-related and traditional stroke risk factors, which vary with respect to the patient’s age and clinical characteristics. Numerous studies show that detectable viremia and immunosuppression increase the risk of stroke across all ages while traditional risk factors are more common in the aging HIV population. As PLWH age and acquire t...

Effects of cold temperature and snowfall on stroke mortality: A case-crossover analysis.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that cold temperature and snowfall are independent risk factors for death from hemorrhagic stroke in men. These findings imply that interventions to prevent fatal hemorrhagic stroke during winter should include both cold temperature exposure and snowfall in men.
